Michael Theriault, MD

Unempathetic and dismissive of my medical concerns. In retrospect, I was seeing many specialists trying to treat various symptoms of my current diagnosis - fibromyalgia. I was visiting Dr Theriault due to chronic migraines, TBI history, and generally feeling unwell. Appointment was transactional and disappointing. At one point he was insinuating that I was making up my migraine issues because my “my chart” notes from another doctor didn’t mention them… A different doctor who didn’t ask follow up questions or suggest further testing when I brought up many other problems I was having. He was not willing and even got testy when I asked him for help requesting work accommodations. He refuses that but was ready to throw whatever medication my way. And by the end, he rudely let me know that if I wanted to fill out temporary disability papers he’d sign off on them. Which isn’t what I was asking for. I did not pursue this option.

Dr. T. took the time to sit and talk. I did not feel rushed. Made me feel comfortable. The receptionist was VERY PLEASANT. Unfortunately I was too absentminded to ask for her name! But thank you for making my visit a pleasure!
